    That is a heck of a deer. Maybe you will luck out and some of his offspring will make it your way.

    Yeah but did he take it with a spear? Apparently, it doesn't count unless you use a spear.

    Side note I didn't know bucks got that big down in LA!

    Certain areas they get pretty big. Usually anywhere near the Mississippi River they typically get some size. Where i live you might see a 120 at best lol

    Great buck, and we are all clearly aware of the difficulty to hunt and kill those Louisiana ghosts. Hardest deer in the world to hunt.

    That's a slammer for a southern buck! Heck, that's a slammer anywhere. Congrats to the lucky hunter.

    I can't believe someone shot a buck that small. Guess some people hunt for meat only

    Great Buck and hard to imagine that it was shot in early season prior to the rut.
